Crunchy….sweet….YES! What a great combination, right? These Crunchy Strawberry Cheesecake Balls are delightful and PERFECT for our family movie nights this month! We always need a sweet treat to munch on while we watch Christmas movies.
Family Movie Night
We love to have family movie night. In the spring and summer we even have DIY Drive-In Movie Night at Home, but it is way to cold to do that right now in Kansas. So we just sit around the living room, snuggling and eating. Watching Christmas movies together is one of our favorite holiday traditions. We have our favorites and they never get old.
I decided to try a fun new treat for our recent movie night and it was a hit! See how easy these Crunchy Strawberry Cheesecake Balls are to make!
Ingredients Needed for Crunchy Strawberry Cheesecake Balls
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon strawberry jelly or jam
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup finely chopped dried strawberries
- 2-3 cups of crushed Honey Bunches of Oats® Strawberry
How to Make Crunchy Strawberry Cheesecake Balls
First sit your cream cheese and butter out to soften. Once they are ready mix the cream cheese, butter, vanilla and strawberry jelly together in your mixer.
Slowly add the powdered sugar and blend until smooth.
Add in the chopped strawberries and blend in well. **You can take the strawberries out of the cereal and chop them up and use them in this recipe to save you from having to buy another ingredient!!**
Now it is important to chill this mixture. I put mine in the freezer for 2 hours, but you could also put it in the fridge for 4 or 5 hours.
Put your cereal into a baggie and crush it will with a rolling-pin.
Once your mixture is chilled you will take a spoonful and roll in around in the crushed cereal to coat well.
Family Movie Night at the Theater
We have another tradition over Christmas break….taking the kids to the movies at the theater! There are usually great family movies out over winter break and this year is no different! The movie SING© is coming to theaters on December 21st and we are excited to go see it as a family!
